Hell yea! Great album!

 

I reviewed it. Last post on previous page

[KarpetRydOFunk]

For whatever reason, I haven't listened to any samples, yet. But with the early less than stunning reviews, I was a bit worried. Good to know those fears were misplaced.

[Mr.AOR]

Got mine this morning...am i the only one who feels like puttin on red shorts & runnin along a beach when this disc starts? Sounding very good btw

 

HaHa yeah lovin' the Baywatch Stylee Intro, AWESOME!!! album.

[CureTheSane]

Are they all synth keys and proper AOR songs?
Not meaning to be the odd one out, but just not my thing.

[lettard]

Excellent album,just great stuff for the summer ahead and indeed as it turns out now as well

That's typical Brother Firetribe.

This one has grown on me, though I still consider it below their other 3, but now just a bit.

 

BTW, "Strangled" is a fuc*ing monster track.

Received my Japanese pressing from CD Japan on Thursday ...... it's been in my CD player quite a bit. This has the potential to be in the run for Album of the Year. I have all the previous BROTHER FIRETRIBE releases on the Japanese pressings and this album is by far superior. I'll explain.....the sound here is much fuller, the production extremely full including orchestration. Their overall sounds actually drifts toward the LEVERAGE vibes this time as opposed to their previous releases. Having the same vocalist in Pekka Heino, there is a blending of elements. Also, the Japanese pressing has a total of 14 tracks, two of which are Japanese bonus. One is an acoustic track and the second is a genuine bonus. More than, just a bonus, a brilliant track worth having. My recommendation is to obtain a Japanese pressing of this CD if you are going to purchase it.......It should be worthwhile!!

Cool.

 

I just wish I had your money. All you guys always buying the Japanese pressings: how do you afford it?

I believe it's "Don't Cry for Yesterday"

 

As much as I enjoy the intro and 3 songs after, I really feel the album kicks off with Last Forever.

 

5 - 11 are just fantastic

 

Phantasmagoria is an interesting song to say the least

Do what I do, only by the good albums and not the albums you want to be good. Mine should be arriving soon along with Eclipse and a couple of others.

I already do that, for the most part, but I couldn't afford to always purchase the Japanese pressings.

No, no no. Completely wrong. No way is Brother Tribe "proper AOR." Not a chance. They have a handful of really synth-driven tunes, but even those I'd still not call "AOR." Not to get into this horrific discussion and wishing to completely avoid it, but Brother Firetribe are "too hard" to be proper AOR. Ballsy band - melodic hard rock.

What he says.

 

To answer Cure's original question - yes, every song has keyboards in it, so if you dislike keyboards avoid like the plague.

 

That said, they do have a pretty beefy sound....melodic hard rock is pushing it a bit, but I wouldn't call them wimpy AOR.........

Well, this is why this category exists: it's not hard rock I agree, it's not AOR either, but something between, so it's melodic hard rock. The 'melodic' softens the 'hard' adjective, IMO that was the intention. Then BF fits exactly in it.

 

However I admit the name is a bit confusing.

Lol, no, that name is funny.

 

The 'melodic hard rock' name for the genre.

[Glen]

So then CureTheSane - all clear

 

Yep. Good.

 

[Geoff]

Simplest thing to do is not read so much into shitty labels like AOR, melodic rock, melodic hard rock, ball licking - who gives a fuck? Just listen to the music and if you like it, you like it. If not, you don't. I hate stuff like "too AOR" or not heavy enough or too heavy or whatever bollocks one worries about.

 

It's all very, very simple. Are the songs good, or not? If they're good songs, who cares about the rest of it?

 

Rant ended.

Good analysis Geoff.......

 

.to answer some previous questions.......

 

1. I buy Japanese pressings "only" when they contain legitimate bonus tracks and.....they are a release that truly pulls my chain. Otherwise, the mainstream releases satisfy my desires.

 

2. The bonus tracks are "Don't Cry For Yesterday" (The legitimate Bonus) and

For Better or Worse (acoustic version).

 

3. This album WILL NOT appeal to everyone. Some will think it too lame, some hate keyboards, others like heavy riffing etc etc etc......however, for what it is, this is a spectacular release. I, am one of those individuals who truly appreciates an extremely wide range of musical genres from searing heavy metal to the 50's and 60's oldies
